- A comprehensive longevity protocol was shared that simultaneously targets NF-κB, ROS via NADPH-oxidase and p66SHC, PI3K-Akt-mTOR, p16ink4a, Nrf2, circadian genes, and IGF-1 signaling using a cocktail of flavonoids, vanillinoids, sterols, terpenoids, xanthines, macrolides, and polycyclic polyethers.  
- Participants debated the economic value of information, arguing that patents and copyrights artificially inflate the price of knowledge, while the historical record shows that freely flowing information has produced net positive-sum gains in global wealth and quality of life.  
- A practical funding roadmap for open-source medical hardware was outlined: finish a working prototype of low-cost automated liquid-handling equipment, then pursue ~$10 k university or foundation grants rather than multi-million NSF awards; three Pittsburgh labs have already agreed to evaluate the device once built.  
- Custom keyboard design was explored in depth, including Osamu’s 20-key chorded layout with laser-cut backplates and haptic feedback, and the trade-offs between stenography (Plover) and traditional QWERTY/Dvorak for coding speed and special-character entry.  
- A nootropics price-tracking initiative was proposed, leveraging Fourmilab’s supplement price list to compile per-dose market prices for compounds such as vinpocetine, deprenyl, and L-dopa.  
- Bryan’s 7.6 GB “papers2” archive was cleaned down to 6.7 GB by removing redundant microfluidics backups, and the group discussed creating a historical URL-mapping file to track file migrations across servers.  
- The WordPress article “Biopunk: DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life” (fredcobio.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/biopunk-diy-scientists-hack-the-software-of-life/) was circulated as an example of mainstream media coverage of the biopunk movement.
